AP Tests at South County

AP Test Fees

The fees for the first six AP tests taken by each student for courses in which they are also enrolled for high school credit or are auditing will be paid by FCPS. The number of AP/IB tests is cumulative over a student’s academic career in FCPS and this year’s count will include all previously funded exams. AP/IB tests taken outside of FCPS are not included in the cumulative count.

Students who choose to take one or more AP tests beyond the six FCPS-funded tests will be charged a fee of $93 per AP test.

Students taking one or more AP tests without enrolling in the corresponding course will be responsible for the test fee(s) and these test(s) will not count towards their six FCPS-funded tests.

Opt-outs and course drops after February 1, 2019 and/or exam day no-shows:

Will be charged $15 each for the FCPS-funded tests.

Will be charged $93 each if beyond the six FCPS-funded tests.

Fee Payment

AP test fees will be billed in April 2019.

Parents/guardians can pay fees online using a debit or credit card or electronic check through MySchoolBucks (http://www.myschoolbucks.com).
